Too late to start applying for FT2022?

Is it too late to start applying to management/strategy consulting firms for full time positions starting in 2022? I just finished my internship and my classes don't start until mid-September (rising senior), if I grind every day with networking/case prep is it possible to be competitive at top non-MBB firms? How should I best spend my time?
